i'll give it a shot......from exit 5 take a left and walk down the street with the chigim (fried food)vendors. walk past face shop and take the first right,onto the main strip.

keep walking down the main strip and eventually you will cross a main road. keep following the strip past a big converse ad painted on the wall of a store, which is on your left.

eventually you will come to a cross section, where you can take a left towards a load of bars, or a right towards a load of bars. take the left. walk a short distance and take the first right before Hole, down a small street. Freebird is on your right.

the sound was really bad. i could hear people talking more than i could here him. plus, it just didn't sound good with him not having a band and using a machine.

crowd didn;t bother me apart from whenwe were lining up. everyone whined like a bunch of bitches cos the start time changed. as if it only happens in korea Rolling Eyes

I liked the fact that I was about 5 feet away from Jens, but I was kind of annoyed that it took 2 solid hours for him to get on stage. That was easily the most foreigners I've seen at one time in Asia, too.

I ended up bailing and selling my tickets on Saturday. The general consensus is "so-so"?

I thought both shows were great.. the FF show was more intimate despite a few technical glitches with the visual projection. If you're a fan of Jens seems it would be hard to not like either of those shows.. like someone said before.. mainly it was noisy crowd that made it a little unpleasant.. (Granted - maybe too many tickets were sold) And one guy puked all over a girl and refused to even apologize for it.

I hate it when crowds are noisy at quiet shows. Why would you pay 25,000 to see somebody if you're just going to sit and talk through it?

I agree but Jens' show wasn't really meant to be a quite show. He wanted it to be upbeat. In the middle of his set at FF Jens said "If you want to talk while I'm playing go right ahead. I once tried not talking and it got me nowhere."

I thought that was cool of him instead of playing the bitchy artiste demanding silence. He was gracious the whole weekend. Never complained about schedule changes, technical glitches, sleeping in a not-that-great guesthouse one night and in someone's apt. the next.
